I recently read a excellent book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer titled 'Inspiration'. If you remember this is the book I was blessed to read when I spent 12 hours in the Detroit airport in May. I must quote you the most marvelous page from the book.
From page 198
God is Well-Being
Spirit never has a fever and knows nothing of illness, so in my humble opinion, it makes no sense to pray or engage in a discourse with God from a perspective of asking to be healed-unless, that is, we have a firm understanding of what we mean by the word heal. If we mean "to overcome an illness or infirmity,' then I feel that we're again violating the truism that nothing can be what it isn't, including God. As Ernest Holmes once wrote: "The will of God is always good,' which means to me that disease, sickness, and suffering are not part of God's energy.
On the other hand, if we use the work heal to mean "reconnecting to our Source of Well-Being," then we're open to the potential of receiving assistance to overcome any infirmity. and that's how I use the word. I never ask God to help me get over a feeling of sickness. Even when i had a minor heart attack five years ago, I asked to be made an instrument of God's well-being. I acknowledged that my body had taken on non-well-being, be it from my lifestyle, diet, and habits; or the toxins I breathe in and out--whatever--it was not of God. It was of me in this physical world, and I prayed to be reunited to a stream of well-being. I knew that I was a piece of God, and that it was just as easy for Him to heal a cut on my finger as it was to restore my heart to a healthy state. Since I know that God's healing power was within me, I just needed to help my body remember this.
Many wonderful books,
I’ve just returned from a trip home to Canada to visit my family. It’s been a long time & it was good to see everyone. It was also good to do hometown things like watch fireworks & a parade for Victoria Day.
My return trip was interesting. I was supposed to fly back on Wednesday morning but the flight was cancelled because a bird had flown into the engine so the plane was sidelined for maintenance concerns. The next flight out was 12 hours later. So what am I going to do in Detroit airport for 12 hours? I made a conscious choice to not be frustrated. I decided to think about who I could bless & how I could be blessed by this time. If there is a spiritual side to this – why had God put me here? What was I to do?

It was wonderful to have hours of personal time, something that I just don’t get in my regular life.
Around midnight I was in the airport in Vegas. The woman beside me had the sniffles & was blowing her nose on restaurant napkins. I’ve been there done that & it’s not pleasant. Thank God I am healthy. I blessed her with a new package of tissues.
It’s Friday morning now & I’m back home. I'm really thankful for hours & hours of personal time in the airport. I didn't think that it was going to be a blessing to be in Smith terminal in Detroit for 12 hours because it is so small. But that was part of the blessing - it was quiet & not crowded. I'm also thankful that I am becoming so much calmer, that I am able to confess positively & flow through events. I’m happy that I am growing as a person, becoming less anxious & learning more compassion.
Blessings,
Diana
